Subject: Alf won't eat the cats.
Everything goes really fast in this game, this includes the cats. "No matter!" said I. So, Alf and I thinking this is time to have some fast food rushed in to catch the delicious delicacies. We finally cornered that feline but alas Alf's jaw must be plastered to him because the cat just skedaddled out of Alf's grasp. I fear Alf may starve tonight despite the 10 pizzas he ate.

5/5 #BringbackAlf

I don't really know who or what ALF was/is but I'm assuming someone at some point did. You have to pick up pizzas (To deliver? Not clear on that one) using the directional keys (up, down, left, right) but you can't just walk over the pizzas you have to stand on top of them for a second to pick them up. Never got to deliver even one pizza to anyone's house because of all the obstacles coming at me at 100 mphs. Looks like a budget title or freeware of some sort but honestly all DOS games look like budget titles to me.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Subject: didnt like it
I've never played an alf game before but I really love alf. I don't think you can catch the cats though, they just run too fast. I got killed by the head of some guy in glasses and a hotwheels car. Most of the time I think I am picking up pizza but I don't even know what that does, but everyone loves pizza right? so I guess alf does too even though he also wants to eat the cats. Isn't he full from the pizza by now? also why does the trashcan hurt me I never did anything to the trashcan. Where is alfs family? why did all the tanners just let him wonder in a neighborhood littered with pizzas and disembodied heads? I don't understand this and whoever made this game must hate ALF!! I gave it two stars just because I really like alf
